I would use a thicker oil with all that clatter - BTW the OEM oil that came in the truck would have been the 5w/20 synth blend that Ford uses - and I still use it in my 2003 navigator... I don't trust going full synth after so so many years with the same oil. - I agree on the Motorcraft filter choice for sure - or a WIX (NAPA) or a Mobile One in a pinch.

I think I used 5w-40 or 10w-40 in it at one point
Did you put oil back in it? Holy sheet
lol 250k+ miles this SUV lost oil pressure sometime later because the timing system failed lol
